Default 2 flats!!!!!

Ok Im 1 week into my new all season run flats and I check my mail while at work- I get an onstar warning that both my rears are flat. Was unable to get to the car for a few hours and was calculating how much 2 new rears would cost if they couldnt be plugged, also racked my brain as to where I would have dinged both- when i got back to the car nothing 30 psi in both! It appears to be a left over warning from the week before when they changed the tires- Why did it take a week to send?

I've gotten an email alert from Onstar the same day as tires were deflated for service.

Perhaps a glitch, but certainly better than “2 flats!!!!!

This is why I don't subscribe to OnStar.

I didn't renew my subscription and am currently NOT a subscriber and am 6 months after purchase- the initial day of mounting I had a flat tire warning that was a week ago while they were doing the install -- strange that the new alert came 1 week later.
